Patchy Posting

I have not been idle about my Patch...

Chiffchaffs and a few Blackcaps are moving, with the odd passage of hirundines [mostly Swallows] but never in any notable numbers.

Nothing like a nice Wryneck [visibly, anyway...]

Yes, yes, ok, the Hoopoe. The actual multi-day twitchable [sort of] Hoopoe bird what could be photo'd and everything. [Sometimes. Still a Hoopoe...]

 

 

But that's a very bit of a sore spot.

I will feel better about it later.

"Laaaaaa!!"

Nuthatch in my kitchen tree.

:D

A few Oyks at the Nose

Look away while you can;

The mandatory

great big 'orrible gull!

Much cuter;

Not quite a Greenish...

..though looking at that

supercilium, one might wonder.!

Two different birds, btw. [And I am being mischevious, before you start typing O:) ]

 

Action shot!

A passer-by,

ItsaBuzzard!

And looking at insects,

Clouded Yellow

Ivy Bee

I was less happy to encounter two chaps on electric motorbikes, who seemed to think that as 'they're electric' it was ok to be burning up the Nose on them?!? I was very polite and maybe hopefully they paid attention...??

[They came in a big black 4x4 with a covered trailer, and seemed more like spoilt rich kids than the balaclava-clad chavs I've almost been run down by met on the coast path riding those things in the past... 😕 ]

Let's have something cheerier to finish on?

Awwww.....

[let's pretend they're not

the Begbies of the bird world...]

Be Seeing You...
